The Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has closed one lane of Miles Stoker road in the Roodepoort direction owing to a sinkhole, which has developed because of illegal mining activity in the area, including tunnelling beneath the road surface. 

For safety reasons, the northbound carriageway along Miles Stoker road, between Main Reef road and Roodepoort, has been temporarily closed. 

Traffic is being diverted onto the southbound carriageway until further notice. 

Additional closures may be introduced to ensure safety of the public, the JRA states.
